"What is critical thinking?"
→ Critical thinking is analyzing information objectively, evaluating arguments, and making reasoned judgments based on evidence.
Critical Thinking Quiz is a comprehensive reasoning assessment that tests and develops your ability to analyze arguments, evaluate evidence, and think clearly. These skills are fundamental to academic success, professional advancement, and informed citizenship.
The quiz presents real-world arguments and scenarios requiring careful analysis. You will learn to identify hidden assumptions, spot logical fallacies, and distinguish strong evidence from weak evidence - skills tested in CAT, GRE, GMAT, and valued in every professional field.
The quiz covers essential critical thinking dimensions:
Question Types: • Assumption Questions: Identify unstated premises the argument relies on • Strengthen/Weaken: Find information that supports or undermines conclusions • Flaw Identification: Recognize logical errors in reasoning • Inference Questions: What must be true based on given information • Evaluate Questions: What additional information would help assess the argument
Difficulty Progression: From straightforward arguments to complex multi-part reasoning.
Carefully analyze the claim or argument being presented.
Find the conclusion, premises, and any unstated assumptions.
Assess whether the conclusion follows from the premises.
Select the best answer based on your critical analysis.

Debiasing Research: Techniques from behavioral science help overcome cognitive biases.
Socratic Questioning: Drawing on centuries of philosophical tradition in critical inquiry.
Always identify the conclusion first - everything else supports or relates to it
For assumption questions, find what MUST be true for the argument to work
Watch for scope shifts - conclusions that go beyond what premises support
Strong answers often involve degree (some vs. all) or necessity (must vs. might)
Practice verbalizing why wrong answers are wrong - sharpens discrimination
